  3. Test the motor by connecting battery power to the terminal No. 1 (or No. 2), and ground to terminal No. 2 (or No. 1) of the washer motor. The motor should run.
    • If the motor does not run, or fails to run smoothly, replace it.
    • If the motor runs smoothly, but little or no washer fluid is pumped, check for a disconnected or blocked washer hose, or a clogged washer motor outlet.
